Adjusting the Focus Adjusting the Focus The camcorder offers the following ways to focus and incorporates Dual Pixel CMOS AF technology for advanced autofocus performance. You can also adjust the focus remotely using Browser Remote on a 76 connected network device (A 164, 171). Manual focus: Turn the focus ring on the lens to adjust the focus. The camcorder offers several focus assistance functions (A 77) to help you focus more accurately when using the manual focus. Push AF: While using manual focus, or autofocus at slower adjustment speeds, you can have the camcorder focus automatically at the highest possible speed ([AF Speed] and [AF Response] both set to [High]) as long as you hold the PUSH AF button pressed down. AF-boosted MF: Focus manually most of the way and let the camcorder finish focusing automatically. Continuous AF: The camcorder keeps focusing automatically at all times. Face AF: The camcorder automatically detects a person's face, focuses on it and can track it if that person moves. Tracking: After you select a subject, the camcorder keeps focusing it and tracks the subject if it moves. Operating modes: Manual Focus Focus manually using the focus ring on the lens. 1 Set the FOCUS switch to M. • A appears on the left of the screen. 2 Turn the focus ring to adjust the focus. • Focusing speed will depend on how fast you turn the ring. NOTES • You can use the focus ring to adjust the focus while you are operating the zoom. If the camcorder was initially in autofocus mode, it will return to autofocus mode after you adjust the focus manually. • You can change the direction of the adjustment and the sensitivity of the response of the focus ring using the > [v $ Camera Setup] > [Focus Ring Direction] and [Focus Ring Response] settings. • If you operate the zoom after focusing, the focus on the subject may be lost. • If you focus manually and then leave the camcorder with the power turned on, the focus on the subject may be lost after a while. This possible slight shift in focus is a result of the internal temperature rising in the camcorder and lens. Check the focus before resuming shooting. • When an optional RC-V100 Remote Controller is connected to the camcorder, you can adjust the focus with the remote controller's FOCUS dial. At default settings, turn the dial right to focus farther and left to focus nearer. • You can operate the focus ring even when the camcorder's controls are locked (A 43).
